Abstract


The project is focused on the design and fabrication of ANFO mixing machine for safety and proper homogenization of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil in order to increase its production rate. The ANFO mixing machine is a replacement for the manual mixing of fuel oil (Diesel) and ammonium nitrates in bays or on concrete floors which is the common method of mixing ANFO in Nigeria. But the ANFO mixing machine designed is easy to operate, safe to use, increases production and reduces number of laborers.
